CDF Prefect Reveals International Theological Commission Will Have More Women Members
In an interview published in the latest edition of a monthly supplement on women for the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano, Cardinal Gerhard Mueller has stressed the Leadership Conference of Women Religious do not represent all US nuns, “but just a group of nuns who form part of an association."
The cardinal is currently in talks with the LCWR due to concerns over its positions on Church teaching. The LCWR is a canonically approved membership organization which serves to support women religious in the United States.
“We have received many distressed letters from other nuns belonging to the same congregations, who are suffering a great deal because of the direction in which the LCWR is steering their mission,” Cardinal Mueller told Lucetta Scaraffia, editor of the monthly magazine, according to La Stampa.

Years ago --- I'm talking, like THIRTY years ago ---- she was commissioned to write a pape for, oh, I don't know, maybe the CTSA on women's "ordination" and she had the bold effrontery o explore the "nuptial symbolism" of the priesthoodm by which only a male could be a bodily sign (of Christ the Bridegroom.) They not only wouldn't print it--- though they had commissioned it! ---but they wouldn't pay her even though they were under contract to do so. Their attitude was "So sue us" She didn't have the means to do that.
So now she's being tapped by the Vatican theology biggies. Good news indeed.
The LCWR can always trot out 500 loud liberal nuns to support their rebellion. Less visible are the thousands of ex-nuns or women scared away from the religious life by the unorthodoxy of the liberal orders.
“Congregations have no more vocations and risk dying out,” he added. “We have first of all tried to reduce hostility and tensions, partly thanks to Bishop Sartain whom we sent to negotiate with them; he is a very gentle man. We wish to stress that we are not misogynists, we are not women gobblers! Of course we have a different concept of religious life but we hope to help them rediscover their identity.”
The women at the heart of the LCWR have been full-throated pro-abortion harpies for forty years. And they’re being “visited” is all?
Such a true statement. I just wish the LCWR would allow 5 Carmelites in full habit to visit their next meeting.
Say what you will they make a great ale.
